RANDOM THURSDAY

This time of year means parties and presents and way too much food! I hosted our shops' staff dinner again this year and I had a full house.

Remember this little pile of goodies ?

It became these

I made each of the staff a little thread catcher

they look so cute all lined up!

Each of the ladies had one at their spot when they arrived

After dinner we gathered for a group photo. I am privileged to work with a great bunch of ladies !

SATURDAY ON THE SHELF

So, this is what I've been up to since finishing the Modern Maples top. When I saw these little thread catchers, I downloaded the tutorial a.s.a.p and made three.  (the Fall 2013 issue of Quilts and More has the web address)

Aren't they cute? I can think of so many uses for them. I'm playing around with different sizes because they would make such great gifts stuffed full of a little something

September blocks for Heal@do.Good stitches. I made the St Louis 16 patch.

and this one is for Toni in the 'Bee Purposeful' group

Still one more of these to make.
Thanks so much for all your comments on the previous post.
Have a lovely week-end.
